Kavita:

The technical name for what you describe is keratosis pilaris.  This is a hereditary condition in which bumps appear around hair follicles, usually on the upper arms or thighs.  You can smooth and them out by applying an alpha hydroxy moisturizer and then rubbing the skin with a Buf Puf or loofah.  As soon as the skin becomes as smooth as you want, you can stop the process and resume it as needed.

Best.
